ported 150T

If you rev it faster won't it just wear out quicker ?

 

And? Make you're money back quicker, buy a new one

So saving milliseconds on each 4" cut will make you more money? (enough to pay for a new £370 saw?)

I was thinking closer to GBL cuts, sort of 8"+

And back to my point of wanting a "prunning" saw cutting at the nearly full length of the bar.....

I think the 150 is an excellent saw in every respect, it is what it is, perfect for small light pruning. Half way between a silky and a 201

 

Big thumbs up from me

It's a top handle chainsaw, and it's light, I'm gonna use full GBL, saves haulin the 200t up until I get big stuff

Guide bar length.

Guess there are two types of people, those who think..."I wonder if I ......what would happen" and those that think..."Good, it is running, that will do..."

 

Many find the lighter ported, faster saw saves time, fatigue on the body and enjoy the faster performance, others are happy to use the saw as it was manufactured.

 

The manufacturers are held back by primarily the EPA and noise laws so saws have to push out clean exhaust and no more than circa 114dba, this makes the final design somewhat limited and stifled.

 

In the old bike days, reeds were Stan Stephens or Boyesen, expansions were Allspeeds or Micron, the same thing happening, mods to motorbikes and much faster performance was born by many a boy racer:thumbup:

 

Personally I got bored with returning saws back to working as they came out of the box and wondered what a 346XP would go like if I ..........the rest is history, 20 years in a production environment working big machines makes a difference, every cycle of a machine takes time, make the process faster and the machine makes more money and uses less labout time, less shift work etc....all the same at the end of the day!

I had a play with Rich Rules stock 150 this week and was pretty impressed.

 

It is what it is though. I wouldn't bother porting one to use on big dismantles.
